In honor of Asclepius, a particular type of non-venomous snake was often used in healing rituals, and these snakes — the Aesculapian Snakes — slithered around freely on the floor in dormitories where the sick and injured slept.
The Frauenstein area is home to a population of the Aesculapian Snake, a large, non-venomous snake rare to this area of Europe.
